Volume

The formula sheet shows how to calculate the volume of a sphere.

\(7400\text{ cm}^3\)

What is the height of the cylinder itself, without the hemisphere on top?

\(3900\text{ cm}^3\)

Substitute the values you know into the formula provided on the formula sheet.

\(10.0\text{ cm}\)


Equations and Inequations

Be very careful if you find yourself dividing by a negative number. It is usually best to avoid it.

\(3>x\) or \(x<3\)

The bracket in the first line is being multiplied by negative 2.

\(x<\frac{3}{2}\) or \(\frac{3}{2}>x\)

Multiplying through carefully by the denominator will deal with the fraction.

\(x=\frac{13}{2}\)

Multiplying by the denominator is a good strategy even when the denominator contains a letter.

\(x=3\)

Find an expression for the perimeter of each shape first. You are told they have equal perimeter...

\(10\text{ cm}\)


Circle Geometry

Look for right-angles, and isosceles triangles.

\(\angle ABD=61^{\circ}\)

Look for right-angles, and isosceles triangles.

\(\angle PQR = 34^{\circ}\)


Scientific Notation

Make sure you can enter numbers in scientific notation into your calculator to perform calculations.

\(8.72\times10^{10}\text{ miles}\)

Make sure you can enter numbers in scientific notation into your calculator, and consider whether they should be put them in brackets when performing calculators.

Expanding Brackets

Take care with negatives when expanding brackets.

\(6x^2+5x-3\)

Check the six terms obtained from expanding these brackets are correct carefully before you collect like terms.

\(x^3+2x^2-13x+10\)

Take care with multiplying a negative by a negative.

\(2x^3-5x^2-13x-4\)

Tackle the expansion of \((x-3)(x+1)\) then consider the "\(-\)" that lies in front of it.

\(-x+3\)


Similar Shapes

Draw the two triangles separately.

\(x=6\)

Obtain the LSF first, and then think about which scale factor is needed.

\(7500\text{ cm}^3\)


Percentages

"100% + 2.5%"

\(£344.61\)

What does appreciate mean?

\(£148 000\)

What percentage of their original pay is £11.18?

\(£10.75\)

Without a calculator, finding 1% will be awkward. What other percentage could be reached, which would let you then find 100% quickly?

\(32\)


Numerical Fractions

When multiplying (or dividing) factions, the denominators don't need to be the same. However, you don't want either to be a mixed fraction.

\(\dfrac{26}{11}\) or \(2\dfrac{4}{11}\)

How can a division by a fraction be rewritten as a multiplication?

\(\dfrac{20}{9}\) or \(2\dfrac{2}{9}\)

When adding (or subtracting) fractions, the denominators need to be equal.

\(\dfrac{193}{30}\) or \(6\dfrac{13}{30}\)

Fill-In-The-Blanks (fitb())

Create fill-in-the-blank questions using fitb(), providing the answer as the first argument.

You can also create these questions dynamically, using variables from your R session.

The blanks are case-sensitive; if you don't care about case, use the argument ignore_case = TRUE.

If you want to ignore differences in whitespace use, use the argument ignore_ws = TRUE (which is the default) and include spaces in your answer anywhere they could be acceptable.

You can set more than one possible correct answer by setting the answers as a vector.

You can use regular expressions to test answers against more complex rules.

Multiple Choice (mcq())

True or False (torf())

Longer MCQs (longmcq())

When your answers are very long, sometimes a drop-down select box gets formatted oddly. You can use longmcq() to deal with this. Since the answers are long, It's probably best to set up the options inside an R chunk with echo=FALSE.

What is true about a 95% confidence interval of the mean?

Checked sections

Create sections with the class webex-check to add a button that hides feedback until it is pressed. Add the class webex-box to draw a box around the section (or use your own styles).

Hidden solutions and hints

You can fence off a solution area that will be hidden behind a button using hide() before the solution and unhide() after, each as inline R code. Pass the text you want to appear on the button to the hide() function.

If the solution is an RMarkdown code chunk, instead of using hide() and unhide(), simply set the webex.hide chunk option to TRUE, or set it to the string you wish to display on the button.
